Honestly, Victoria Beckham is incredibly stylish. In this particular photo, I would not have anything negative to say; however, I am having an issue with the pasties. There are several different colors and brands on the market. She decided to select white with a sheer black tee. In this case, I probably would have chosen a darker color (black or nude/beige). It is amazing how the camera captures everything. In any case, she looks amazing. The ankle strap and skirt flow well, together. You can hardly go wrong with black and white. If the silhouette and texture is right, you should have a win-win situation.

Halle attended the Shanghai International Film Festival and she looked FABULOUS! She wore a snow-white Marchesa gown and Jimmy Choo sandals. She kept the look quite simple, with the stud earrings and bracelet. The accessories are appropriate for this look.

Who knew that Marc Jacobs looked sooooo amazing, beneath the shoulder length hair and eyeglasses?? OMG! I love this clip, because they appropriately covered the NY "fashion" atmosphere. It is apparent that things have changed. This video clip is courtesy of style.com.

Ladies!! This collection makes fierce look like NADA! Other than the fact that you will have to be a size "I just came out of the womb" to wear the leather leggings.... the shoes and bags will fit! Yes Darling, I know Summer is barely scratching the surface. Nevertheless, I am so ready for Fall Winter 2009/2010. How about yourself?

It is so ironic that my last sentence, from the previous entry, stated "live a little." Today, a heroic Security Officer fell victim to a senseless act of violence, in D.C. It just goes to show you that....Life is Short and this is Not a Dress Rehearsal.

I could not resist the Lexus IS 250C Campaign. Have you seen the new Lexus convertible? OMG! It is just too adorable, chic and stylish. I am sure that men will invest in this car; however, it can definitely be in a diva's car wardrobe. I just may test drive it, with the top down.....just because, life is short and Lexus has given me permission to live a little.

The Nations Capitol was home to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, today. Thousands of people walked and ran around the Mall to bring hope, awareness, faith, love, courage, strength, power and support...as it pertains to breast cancer. This disease impacts us in so many ways, whether directly or indirectly. This organization has raised the bar on awareness and each of us is held accountable to take action. What type of action, you may ask? It may be a self-examination, mammogram, sitting with a loved one during chemotherapy, assisting a friend with a wig, giving encouraging words to a stranger, sending a card or just smiling at someone with a bald head covered by a bandana. There are so many brave individuals battling this debilitating disease. I say to them and us all....There Is Hope.

I just love this look! Estelle's image is impeccable from head to toe. In any picture or video, I have seen, her hair is ALWAYS on point. I just love this dress. Black and white is so amazing, when it is asymetrical. There are so many ways to go outside of the box, with black and white. Honestly, as a child, I hated it! These were the choir staple colors. However, as I have gotten more wise (lol)...these colors are so classic, timeless, chic and wonderful together. She did not really go outside the box, with any accents of color (lemon, cherry, kiwi, etc.). Of course, those colors would have made the look more dramatic and this dress already pops. Ebony & Ivory can be worn from season to season. The Giuseppe's below would also give the look a little edge. I just love it!

Are you ready for The Wiz? Yes, the stage play is on its way back to Broadway and Dorothy has been upgraded. Ashanti will play the lead role in this classic adventure of wisdom, love and courage. It will be exciting to discover who will be the Scarecrow, Tin-Man and the Lion. If I was to judge by the appearance of Ashanti, this will be a dynamic and creative show. As it pertains to sound, SHE BETTER SING!!!!

Have you seen Mel B, lately? Mel attended an event sponsored by US Weekly and OMG! She looks F-AB-ULOUS! Check out her abs! What has she been doing? What is the secret? Oh! DWTS, sit-ups/crunches by the minute and no carbs. Wow! The shoes look nice and I like how they match the details on the bikini. Practically naked and still stylish.

Ladies, the jumpsuit has returned and it is fabulous. I love jumpsuits! Actually, I believe they should remain an "edgy" staple in your wardrobe. Well, only if you are a risk-taking and rule-breaking kind of gal. These are a few that I have noticed to give you a peek into the upgraded "adult onesie." LOL!! Have fun, take a risk and break a rule. Jump! Jump!
